Equine By Brennig Davies I won’t pretend to be a person I’m a paddock of horses in a trench coat; that’s the reason I bite. Not a boy, but a braying; not a man, but a stamping of hooves, and a dark, wet smell; a canter decanted into the shape of a child who was a pleasure to teach. I won’t pretend to be a person when I’m just the urge for running; a tangle, wedded to being unbridled; a bag of unsaddled bones that cannot find a stable and cannot decide if it wants one.
